West Wildwood NJ
Homes for Sale

West Wildwood is the quiet corner of the Wildwoods — a half-square-mile island tucked behind Wildwood on the back-bay side, reached by a single two-lane bridge. There's no boardwalk here and no oceanfront; the island trades the crowds for lagoons, docks, and marinas, where boats tend to outnumber tourists. Built up from the bay marshes in the 1920s and ringed by bulkheads, it's a compact grid of vacation and year-round homes wrapped almost entirely in water. For the people who own here, the calm is the entire point.

The market is small and turns over slowly — only a handful of homes trade on the island at any given time. Inventory leans toward lagoon-side and bayfront properties with dockage and open-water access into the back bays and out toward the inlet, alongside classic shore homes and elevated newer rebuilds. The scale stays low and residential throughout: no high-rises, little commercial footprint, just a tight boating community a short bridge from everything the Wildwoods offer.

West Wildwood is its own incorporated borough, but it shares the 08260 ZIP code with neighboring Wildwood and sits right across the bridge — so its listings can surface under Wildwood as well as the borough name, worth knowing when you search. Whether you're tracking newly listed homes or reviewing what's recently sold, the searches on this page pull live from the MLS.
